“Hell, I’ll kill a man in a fair fight… or if I think he’s gonna start a fair fight, or if he bothers me, or if there’s a woman, or if I’m gettin’ paid – mostly only when I’m gettin’ paid. But these Reavers… last ten years they show up like the bogeyman from stories. Eating people alive? Where’s that get fun?” -Jayne Cobb, Serenity

Second panel reminds me of when my friend told me I was thinking with the wrong head on prom night. Dr. Schtein’s predicament there is yet another reminder of why I’m glad I ignore half of what that friend tells me!

Im interested to see if Dr. Stein gets to turn the tables eventually. Armastus is a little on the nuts side, but he’d make a pretty good bodyguard, assuming he didn’t tear you limb from limb. And eat you.

On a bigger side, Stein is now a sort of outcast from the military, supposedly dead, and there isn’t much to keep him in the public eye. I could see him conducting his experiements privately, somewhere.

I have to say that I pretty much love everything about the second panel. The Director’s face looking at the pill bottle, going ‘WTF did he do this time’ and Schtein’s half seen face, like he’s pulling himself off the ground. Awesome.
